Twelve games. One channel family. Zero excuses.
Per the New York Times' 2026 Texas football streaming guide, every Longhorns regular-season matchup this fall sits inside Disney's SEC broadcast package — and that package runs through 2033-34, so don't hold your breath for a new streaming deal.
What you're actually subscribing to
Your channel stack is small, but it's the only stack:
- Main channels: ABC, ESPN, SEC Network
- Overflow: ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN+, SECN+
That's it. No Fox. No CBS. No Amazon Prime Video Thursday night nonsense. The SEC signed one deal, and it covers every regular-season game Texas plays.
Schedule windows and the dates that matter
The SEC has locked the broadcast windows but not the specific assignments. Expect:
- Early games: noon–1 p.m. ET
- Late afternoon: 3:30–4:30 p.m. ET
- Night games: 6–8 p.m. ET
- Flex window between afternoon and night slots
Final channel assignments drop no later than six days before kickoff. Set a reminder for that Tuesday-before-game-day update.
The marquee matchup lands early. Ohio State visits Austin on Sept. 12 for ABC's Saturday Night Football slot — Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit on the call, with Holly Rowe on the sideline. ESPN's College GameDay (now in its 40th season) will be on campus that morning. SEC Nation handles pregame coverage earlier in the day.
The rest of the slate shapes up like this: Texas opens SEC play at Tennessee, then hits the Red River Rivalry with Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl. Through October, only one true road contest. From there, three of the final four games are away — including the Lone Star Showdown against Texas A&M on Black Friday.
The buy-or-skip verdict
Cheapest path: An over-the-air antenna pulls ABC free for the Ohio State game and any other ABC slot. Add Fubo's free trial week to catch the ESPN/SEC Network slate. Total out-of-pocket: antenna cost, usually under $40.
Full-season pass: Fubo carries ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, and SEC Network in one bundle. Add ESPN+ separately for the SECN+ overflow games. Skip the cable bundle — you're paying for redundant channels.
Skip: Any "all-in-one sports" streaming service that doesn't list SEC Network in its channel lineup. You will miss a game.
One note for the cord-cutter who needs live competition between Manning's drives: the EWC 2026 Black Ops 7 bracket and schedule runs live through the season if you want esports to fill the gaps.
Bottom line: antenna + Fubo + ESPN+ covers every Texas game. No bundle math required.
